Description

From CLB:

Most recently, on 27 June, several hundred drivers in the central city of Zhengzhou went on strike for the second time this year after cab companies blocked drivers who intended to quit the business from transferring their licence, saying all licences had to be returned to the company. Drivers in Zhengzhou had staged an earlier strike in January to protest the municipal government’s decision to abolish the long-established system of six work days, one rest day (“运六歇一”制度). This meant that the city’s 10,607 licensed cabs had to work seven days a week in order to satisfy the government’s demands for more cabs on the street.
